Alphonse sneezed, and Edward glanced over at his little brother, worry in his eyes. “Are you all right?”
“It’s just a sneeze, Brother,” Alphonse said, rolling his eyes. He still pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his nose with it before folding the square of soft cotton and tucking it back in his pocket.
“You’re sure?” It was hard not to be worried about Alphonse, after all. He was so…different than what Edward had expected. His little brother, dressed in his old clothes, wearing a ponytail - the image barely reconciled itself with how Alphonse looked now - his hair neatly trimmed, wearing a white shirt with dark blue trousers, and a matching coat, the collar pulled up to protect his neck. His shoes were spit-polished and the scarf around his throat hung just so - Edward remembered his little brother had always made the beds ‘just so’, when he, himself, would haphazardly pull the sheets and blankets up over the pillows and leave it at that.
“I’m fine, Brother. It’s just an autumn cold.” Alphonse waved a gloved hand at the trees, with their leaves going gold and orange and red from the first frost. “I’ll have some chicken soup and hot tea when we get home, and you’ll see, I’ll be better.” Linking his arm with Edward’s, he offered up a sunny grin.
Edward couldn’t help but grin back, pulling his brother a little bit closer, basking in the warmth of Alphonse’s smile.
